Hype. HN is _the_ platform to create hype among the early adopter, super-spreader/tech exec kind of people and because of that has an absolutely massive indirect reach. Just look how often PR reps appear here to reply to accusations -

A snowclone is not "stolen valor", it's a completely normal part of modern writing. Especially considering that Dijkstra didn't even coin the phrase himself.

I don't see FUD anywhere in my post. Did you accidentally reply to the wrong person? My point was essentially, that if he thinks wayland is this bad, the poster should help improve it to their liking, instead of ranting - it's pre

Sorry for the late reply, was way too tired yesterday. The most extreme situation is concept artists right now. Essentially, the entire profession has lost their jobs in the last year. Or casual artists making drawings for commission - they

DC interferes with your heart's rhythm much, much less though, due to being constant. AC's frequency easily causes ventricular fibrillations even at low currents and voltages. AC is considered potentially lethal starting at 50V. F

Thanks for the link, that's fantastic to hear! I'm seriously sick of that whole "laundering copyright via AI"-grift - and the destruction of the creative industry is already pretty noticable. All the creatives who brough

They're limited to pretty small sizes by german law - they are so insignificant that they're much less dangerous to handle. I'm not up to date on their ROI, but IIR they usually were a rather bad investment and more of a nove

Sure it is, but which of the many small websites are going to be able to fight them legally? Most companies would go broke before getting a ruling. Reality is, the law doesn't matter if you're big enough. As long as they're n

But you can see fuel. You can't see currents and it's not trivially visible which things you can touch at all, which things you can touch at the same time, which protection to wear, how to deal with the potentially fatal flashing

A small current is going to flow internally, but nothing else happens. It's quite normal to have solar panels running with zero load in regions with lots of PV - reason being, that the carriers need to keep their electricity nets stabl

The currents and voltages involved are going to make that a non-starter. Do you really want random people messing with those? The solar inverters are also sized that big for a reason. At least in countries with strong regulations around wor

How does it compare to kanata and kmonad? Found especially kanata a delight to use, while being both minimal, if needed, and maximally feature-filled if desired.

That ship has already sailed I'm afraid. Instead of running against windmills, try submitting patches and constructively improving the thing - it isn't going to go away, that much is safe to say. Every day yet another distro adopt

TL;DR: Comparing raw week-numbers is only useful within the same legal and cultural framework. Comparing European and US limits on weeks alone feels pretty misleading because of that. >The GP may be surprised to learn, however, that on t

You might want to look at the GP's name. Yes, they didn't mention it explicitly. In the context of being named "theclansman" though, it's very likely to be the line of thinking the user had.

Even if this was the case - if companies treating their customers' data like shit vanish from the European market, I'd be really happy. Not a big loss at all. :) Additionally, leaving the European market opens up a big opportunity
